the Stewart Road site, the North of Chad site will be relatively free of high value wetlands. Therefore, it may have more potential than the Stewart Road site far special light industrial development. d. The North of Chad site appears to be a good location far special light industrial uses. Nearby areas are already designated and zoned Special Light Industrial, One site is the new location of a publishing firm. The Register- Guard has purchased another. Chad Street is constructed to industrial traffic standards. The location provides good visibility, an important factor for firms of this type. e. Based on absorption rates since 1977, there is a 4D year supply of private undeveloped low density residential land inside Eugene's UGB. Iv. METRG PLAN AMENDMENTS MUST ADDRESS ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWTNG CIRCUMSTANCES. a. An error in the publication of the Plan; or b. Unanticipated and substantial change in circumstances; or c. Post-acknowledgment incorporation into the Plan of newly inventoried material which relates to a Statewide Goal; or d. A change in public policy. There has been an unanticipated and substantial change in circumstances item b}. Since the Plan was adopted and lands were designated for industrial development in west Eugene, the federal government and the State of Qregon have adopted rules and requirements to preserve wetlands. Subsequent local research and field work determined that in west Eugene there are same 1,4U~ undeveloped acres that meet the wetlands definition. Qf those 1,4~~ acres, about half, some 7U~ acres, are designated for industrial uses. That it almost 4U percent of the total 1,S~a acres of undeveloped west Eugene land designated for industrial development. Changing the North of Chad site from Law and Medium Density Residential to Special Light Industrial should partially compensate for the reduction in development potential of industrial land that is located in wetland areas.
